What is a tutor job in Delhi?
A tutor job in Delhi is regular one-to-one teaching in a learner's home, or online from wherever you sit. A family says what the learner is stuck on: the Class 9 science chapter, the Class 12 accountancy paper, the maths section of CUET-UG. Edutara looks for someone who teaches exactly that, then puts the two of you in touch. The first class is a trial, so the family and you both find out whether it works before anything becomes a routine. Days, times and the fee are settled with the family, and the family pays you directly.
- One learner at a time, at their home in Delhi or online from yours.
- The subjects and classes you choose, from primary reading to Class 12 physics.
- Hours that sit around a college timetable or an office day.
- The first class is a trial, for the family and for you.
- Lesson fees come to you from the learner, with nothing deducted.
Subjects Delhi families look for
Delhi homes follow CBSE, the CISCE syllabus, the Delhi Board of School Education and NIOS, so the same subject reaches you in several shapes. Teach the ones you know down to the paper pattern.
Primary classes, 1 to 5
Reading, handwriting, number work and early English for Classes 1 to 5, usually in the hour after the child gets home.
Maths, Classes 6 to 10
Maths up to the Class 10 board paper, including the split between Standard and Basic maths that a CBSE learner has to choose.
Science, Classes 9 and 10
Physics, chemistry and biology taught as the one school subject, with the diagrams and numericals that carry the marks.
Physics and chemistry, Classes 11 and 12
Board work carried alongside the JEE Main or NEET-UG syllabus, which a Delhi learner is often studying in the same months.
Maths, Classes 11 and 12
Calculus, vectors and probability for the board paper, and the harder problem sets a JEE Main aspirant works through.
Biology and NEET-UG
Class 11 and 12 biology, with the line-by-line reading of the NCERT text that NEET-UG rewards.
Accountancy and business studies
Commerce in Classes 11 and 12, the stream that fills the coaching lanes of Laxmi Nagar and the commerce colleges of Delhi University.
English language and literature
Writing, comprehension and the literature texts for school boards, and spoken English for college students and working adults.
Hindi and Sanskrit
Hindi Course A and Course B as CBSE sets them, and the Sanskrit that many Delhi schools teach through Classes 6 to 8.
Computer science and informatics practices
Python and SQL as the Class 11 and 12 papers ask for them, for learners whose school moves through the syllabus quickly.
Social science and humanities
History, geography, political science and economics, from Class 9 up to the Class 12 humanities stream.
CUET-UG preparation
The domain papers and the general test that decide a seat at Delhi University and the other central universities here.

What Edutara looks for in a Delhi tutor
There is no qualification bar here. What counts is that you know your subject at the level you are offering it, and that you can keep one learner moving week after week.
Who can apply
- College and university students in Delhi, including first-year students who are strong in a school subject.
- Graduates and postgraduates from any stream, and people in a job who are free in the evening.
- Retired teachers, and people who teach outside the school system, in a coaching centre or a college.
- Serving school teachers cannot take private tuition, so Edutara does not accept applications from them.
Subject knowledge
- The subject at the class level you offer, and the way that board sets its question paper.
- Comfort with the NCERT books Delhi schools work from, since homework and revision both start there.
- A second way of explaining a step, for the day the first way does not land.
How you work with a family
- Fixed days and times that you keep, because a Delhi evening can swallow an hour without warning.
- A plain word to the parent on what was covered and what is still shaky.
- Patience with a learner who has fallen behind, and honesty about how long catching up takes.
If you teach online
- A quiet corner and a connection that holds steady for the length of a class.
- Some way to show your working: a writing pad, a tablet, or a page held under the camera.
- A laptop, or a phone on a stand so the learner can watch you solve the sum.
Unsure about a point? Apply anyway, and we will read your application before any match is made.

It goes to the address you filled in, and it sets out plainly what happens on Edutara's side and what is needed from yours.
- Step 3
Your application is read
Someone goes through what you teach and where you can teach it, so that the learner you hear about later is one you are actually able to help.

Edutara puts you in touch with a learner
